INSIDE

An original podcast from VirtuGO

Opening up the professional cycling and sports world.

Targeted Nutrition

We uncover the reason why the former World Champion would shove two fists full of gummy bears into his mouth immediately after a hard effort and how this is part of a bigger process of targeting nutrition around your exercise. Daniel Healey is going to run through his 6 steps to perfect nutrition using readily available foods that will give you all the energy you need to perform and recover like the best.

Indoor Cycling is Hot

One of the obvious disadvantages of training indoors is that it can be hot - and not only can this make your riding uncomfortable but it can also impact your performance - in some cases by as much as 30% or more. But, there are steps you can take to ensure your riding is more comfortable and efficient. We explore all of the options to give you the best recommendations.

Finding Your Potential and Letting it Go

Are you beginning to wonder what lies ahead in your physical future. I mean are your best days really behind you? Or is there something beyond 40 waiting for you? We are going to meet someone on the other side of 40 who’s on a mission to find his version 2.0.

The Resilience of Cadel Evans

This episode tells a story that begins with a spectacular failure. Now, there’s many ways to fail in cycling but this is about a cyclist who gave it everything and came up short. His name, Cadel Evans.

The Folder

Coaches and even riders need to get information from a wide variety of sources - peer reviewed articles, peer to peer learning, athletes etc. This diversification is a strength, so is being equipped with a functioning BS meter is essential. Collecting and storing information on training and performance started very early on in Daniel's coaching career. We are going to explore the themes that have popped up in Daniel’s career, things like scientific theory vs real world application, how can training ideas from other be used in cycling and then pro cycling - how can that information be used for all cyclists.

Introducing

Professional cycling has secrets. No, not the Omertá but the many thousands of people directly involved on the “inside” of cycling. The chef, the massage therapist, the bus driver (and the pros). What do they know about training and performance?
